Harmony Working Both Ways

There is harmony in the way
the daylight passes and on comes the darkness to take over. There is the same
harmony when the darkness gives way to the daylight. There is no struggle, no
objections. Each takes their turn and then bows to the other when it is their
turn. We should seek the same harmony in our life. Some things are inevitable
and it is foolish to fight against them or wonder why. Only a small portion is
what occurs to you. A much larger portion is how you react to it.

Yin & Yang

Roshi Hogan Says...

The way ebbs and flows creating and destroying

Wisdom is knowing when to do or not doI asked the boy beneath the pines; he said the master's gone alone. Walking somewhere on the mountain; cloud-hidden, whereabouts unknown Blow out the candle and make friends with the darkness

We do not insist our way is the only way, or the best way, merely that it is our way

Good enough is not good enough unless it is good enough.

Wisdom does not float in with the morning tide.

Let the trade winds that blow through your life be that of the Dao

To describe the Dao, one word too many, a million words too few

In a world filled with treachery and darkness, the Dao remains the shining light of goodness and truth
